New Two-Drug attack on rare blood cancer shows promise

NCT ID NCT03410875

Summary

This study is testing whether combining two drugs—an oral targeted therapy (vemurafenib) and an immunotherapy infusion (obinutuzumab)—can effectively treat adults with hairy cell leukemia who haven't had any prior treatment. The goal is to achieve a complete remission, meaning no detectable cancer after treatment. The trial will enroll up to 30 patients to see if this combination is a viable option for controlling this rare blood cancer.
